Escape from Sobibor by Richard Rashke

Poignant in its honesty and grim in details, Escape from Sobibor provides a vivid account of the biggest escape from a Nazi extermination camp during World War II. Breathtakingly suspenseful and horrifying at the same time.--Publishers Weekly.

"A sensitive, thoughtful, and well-researched account of the 'biggest prisoner escape of World War II.'"--Samuel Gold, Jewish Chicago
"A journalistic account in the tradition of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood,"--Choice

"This moving and angry book deserves to be read."--Susan Osnos, Washington Post
"A unique, unforgettable, deeply-moving and effective account of a death camp."--Allen A. Warsen, Detroit Jewish News
